I just sold my 95 GSR, and about two weeks ago I bought a 97 Prelude Base. The Prelude is quieter, rides nicer, and handles just as good as the GSR...The Prelude seems faster and, according to the numbers it is, plus the 'Lude has better low end torque. I liked the looks of the GSR, but the styling of the 5gen 'Lude is great..With that being said, I like the Prelude better..
